Don't be afraid of the scandium 4.25" I shot one the other day and was really surprised at how good it handled. Not a fan of the external extractor but that thing is fine. Pictures do it no justice either.

Pelican pawn gun shop in Gonzales has a colt delta elite /stainless in 10 mm I have been eying. Have not owned a 10 mm before but passed on it due to all the ammo I have brought home the last few months.
